R.I.P. Lloyd Skelton, known as lloydSSJ4 on the Outlaw Star UK forums, who took his life in 2014.

Hello there~! c:

Heya, nice to meet you all!
Just found this forum randomly while trying to find leads on Hicaru Tanaka/Hikaru Tanaka's art. Then saw this place was still somewhat active and totally had to join! Outlawstar was one the first animes I saw growing up that wasn't sailormoon. (The other being Slayers Next.) And it really got me into the space opera genre. I use to be majorly obsessed with it to the point one of my first Ocs was based off Harry MacDougall (literally just stole his bow thing, but still). Anyhow I'm pretty sure it influenced my taste in drawing styles as well as fostering my love of cat girls. =P

Nice to post on a forum again though, it's been ages since I've last been on one. In any case it's nice to meet you all, and thanks for having me!

(Edit: Also excuse any typos or if I don't make sense. It's 4am and I've yet to sleep. x.x)

Hmm... Hikaru Tanaka, that name certainly rings a bell. The ED artist, right? It's nice art and I was happy to see it in a high resolution with the Blu-ray release. What kinds of leads are you looking for? Heh, I'm pretty sure there's a few Harry MacDougall fans here. And yeah, I love '90s catgirls. They were so much better back then.

Slayers next. Now that is a series I haven't seen in forever. I need to rewatch it one of these days making another show on a pile of thousands of shows I need to get off my ass to watch.

Anywho, welcome to the forums! We got some nice folks around here to chill around with and we even have a game/movie nights (when we can make our schedules work) that you're welcome to join. We can never have too much folks for that one.

Hey guys sorry for the late response! This last week has been crazy busy.

@Mantis - Yea! He's the artist for the ending theme. For some reason his personal site is no longer up, and I can't seem to find anything about him. I totes agree about the catgirls, I feel like they were a lot more "wild" if that makes sense? Now it seems like most cat girls feel domesticated. Haha

@KorinKitty - Cats are pretty awesome. They're probably my favorite animal besides the maned wolf and secretary bird. Aisha is amazing, I need to give doodling her a shot again! I drew her before but that was a REALLY long time ago.

@Starwind55 - Slayers next was such a fun show, I really loved the theme song. Oh man I know how that goes, I have about a billion things to watch on the back burner but never seem to get around to them... And the list keeps growing! Oh dude that sounds pretty fun, if I'm free I'll definitely have to check out one of these hangout nights. Seems fun. Does this place have a discord where you do that, or is it via the forum? :3

@Zemekis - My icon is actually one, her name is Nyah. She's a cross between a cat girl and a succubus... And she's really annoying. Haha ^^;-DA Link- (hopefully this doesn't come off as self promotion, if so let me know and I'll totes delete the link.) has a bit about her, but honestly I've been too lazy to write out my Ocs full bios or even bother to upload them. LOL I really need to get on that.

Yeah, I recall information about Hikaru Tanaka being hard to come by. Kind of similar to Takehiko Ito in that regard. You have to really dig deep to find out anything beyond common knowledge. Agreed about catgirls. The characters had more depth and that wild personality you mentioned. Whereas sadly, a lot of catgirls nowadays are carbon copies.

We're actually thinking of rewatching Outlaw Star, which surprisingly isn't something we've done as a group before. We haven't actually set up a Discord. We usually either do it through Skype or Steam, and if somebody doesn't have one of them (but has the other) I often act as a bit of a middleman. But the client we use to watch videos together has a built-in chat feature, so once we're logged into it we can chat fine.

The Outlaw Star rewatch is a bit of a celebration of a really cool project that's finally going to happen. Since you seem to be a big Outlaw Star fan I've invited you to a hidden forum (The Galactic Leyline, found on the index) where I've revealed the project in question behind closed doors. (So keep that discussion there. ) I'm sure you'd like it, although I'll release a finished version publicly within the next week or so.

By the way, the self-promotion is fine. After all, this is your introduction thread, so share anything you like about yourself. You may post any particular artwork in Starwind & Hawking Enterprises.
